I thought I've seen everything this Covid season, but nope, far from it:
Unfortunately, it turns out NY courts are also antisemitic. (Wait, aren't all NY lawyers Jews? Weird.)
Now, this: just look at this blatant example of anti-semitism: a small Jewish wedding outside of the red/orange/whatever color of the week zones was mercilessly BLOCKED by soulless authorities:
I rest my case. Cuomo is a worthless anti-semite.
Three Rockland County Jewish congregations are suing New York state and Gov. Andrew Cuomo, saying he engaged in a “streak of anti-Semitic discrimination” with a recent crackdown on religious gatherings to reduce the state’s coronavirus infection rate.The Manhattan federal court lawsuit filed late Wednesday accused the Democrat of making negative, false, and discriminatory statements about the Jewish Orthodox community as he imposed new coronavirus measures to counter the state’s rising infection rate in so-called “red zone” areas.
A Federal judge ruled Friday against an Orthodox Jewish organization seeking a temporary restraining order blocking New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo's new Covid-19 restrictions on places of worship in areas identified as clusters, according to a statement by Agudath Israel of America.
The court ruling came after a lawsuit filed by the group requested an injunction to stop the new restrictions and that the order "disproportionately impacts Orthodox Jewish services."
The governor's executive order limits gatherings in houses of worship up to 25% capacity or maximum of 10 people in "red zone" clusters, while those in the "orange zone" can operate up to 33% capacity with a maximum of 25 people. House of worship in a "yellow zone" may meanwhile operate up to 50%.

A wedding at a Hasidic Jewish synagogue that was expected to draw up to 10,000 people has been barred by a New York state order, according to officials.A grandson of the grand rebbe (rabbi) of Congregation Yetev Lev D'Satmar in Brooklyn planned to get married Monday, according to a statement attributed to the synagogue which CNN received from the Satmar Wedding Committee.
After an investigation into the planned wedding, New York State Health Commissioner Howard Zucker on Friday signed a section 16 order barring the event, Beth Garvey, special counsel to Gov. Andrew Cuomo, confirmed at a press conference on Saturday.
"It was outside the target red, or orange or yellow cluster zone, but the information that our investigation revealed was that upwards of 10,000 individuals ... planned to attend," Garvey said.
